After a few days of uninstall, reinstall hell with chrome, adobe flash, and filmstruck chat help, I've settled on a third browser - Firefox. Chrome stopped working with plugin (adobe flash) not available errors, so I started a few chat sessions with Filmstruck tech support, and got it to finally work, then it stopped working. With Chrome, for whatever reason, you have to uninstall then install adobe flash using Internet Explorer, so it's a back and forth with the two browsers.

Now for the last couple days Firefox has been running like a dream - no spinning wheel buffering issues. Hope it lasts.

If you're asking about streaming devices, they added Chromecast a little while back.

Thank you very much. Really enjoyed the free 3 mos but I will await the PS4 or ROKU filmstruck apps to watch it on a bigger screen. I know I can just connect my PC via HDMI but I prefer the above better. This is also the corrected link to sign up .

Crisis: Behind a Presidential CommitmentAdventures on the New Frontier

Criterion Live at the Metrograph - filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker, writer Frank Rich, and expert Jill Drew joined us at New York’s Metrograph theater to celebrate The Kennedy Films of Robert Drew & Associates.

Watched Queen to Play the other day, and I was trying to place the actress - Sandrine Bonnaire, who played opposite Kevin Kline, and of course I'd seen her in Agnes Varda's Vagabond. Was looking for another film to watch and chose Claude Chabrol's La Cérémonie, and there's Sandrine again. Then I realized that Chabrol coauthored my favorite film book - Hitchcock: The First Forty-Four Films with Eric Rohmer.

Not sure if this is the place for this but I just got a press release that reads:

Filmstruck and Film Society of Lincoln Center presenta Criterion Live! event for...SPLIT SCREENCelebrating the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking independent-film television series on Wednesday, May 10,at 7:00pm at the Film Society of Lincoln CenterHost-creator John Pierson in conversation with Richard Linklater, Miranda July, Kevin Smith and more!

Created and hosted by indie film pioneer and author John Pierson, SPLIT SCREEN gave viewers an insider's look at the world of independent film and the fringes of the cinema-loving community in the late 1990s, when Pierson and his band of cinephiles roved the U.S. seeking pockets of movie madness. With material ranging from intimate encounters with mavericks such as John Waters and Herschell Gordon Lewis, to the premiere of the first footage of what would become THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, to the opening of the world's most remote movie theater in Fiji, this irreverent and clever series was like nothing else on television at the time and remains a candid portrait of a turning point in American cinema.

You can stream SPLIT SCREEN on the Criterion Channel on FilmStruck, along with the largest library of indie, arthouse and foreign films. For more info, check out FilmStruck.com.

DATE: May 10 at 7:00pmLOCATION: The Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater,165 W. 65th St.

Remember when Kevin Smith and Richard Linklater's names were uttered in the same sentences on a regular basis? I still wonder why that guy hit his ceiling so fast and was so unmotivated to break through it.

This is the first news of Criterion having anymore Haneke since Code Unknown was released. It was implied they had the rest of the former Kino films, but it was odd that its been several years since we had any news in one way or another (Brian C's worries should now be calmed)

The other former Kino titles would include:The Piano TeacherFunny GamesBenny’s VideoThe Seventh Continent71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance

Criterion sent a press release with information about all of its new Filmstruck offerings for May. While there's other info (adventures in filmgoing w/ Guillermo Del Toro, for instance), I've copied what really matters below.
